The trio -- Rao, Vadivelu and Contractor who teamed up a few years ago, were here at the Hotel Welcomgroup recently to stage their show, `Mind Storm -- The Psychic Mind Show'.

Talking to Express Newsline, Rao said, ``Reading a person's mind can be improved with regular practice.'' And once a person develops an interest for the art, it becomes very easy, he claimed.

Rao proved his point when he distributed several books at random among the audience and asked three people to open a page and read the first word to themselves. He enthralled the audience when he guessed all the three words right by just looking at their faces.

In another `experiment', he asked random members of the audience to choose the colour, the company, the price and the licence number of a `dream car'. as the final fact was being made public, Rao had displayed a prepared and sealed transparency detailing each of the factors absolutely correctly.

Vadivelu too enthralled the audience when he depicted a scenario in the train and a conversation between a saint and a maulvi by using his hands. ``I enjoy the art more when I have to depict two or three things at a time. That is more challenging,'' he said.

According to the trio, no task was difficult or impossible. It was just a matter of time and regular practice that could make a person a perfectionist in the art.

Rao said that he too began on a trial-and-error method. But due to constant practice, he was today in a position to perform flawlessly.
